Baxter Employee Engagement Programs
Scholarships
The Baxter International Foundation Scholarship program provides renewable scholarships for post-high school education for children of Baxter employees worldwide. Awards are in support of undergraduate study and are merit-based. A third-party agency evaluates all applications.
Dollars for Doers
Through the Dollars for Doers program, employees around the world can convert time volunteered into grants for their favorite charities. Ten hours of volunteering can be converted into a $100 grant for an eligible charity.
Baxter Employee Disaster Relief Program
The Baxter Employee Disaster Relief Fund was created to help employees who are facing financial hardship from property damage following a natural disaster. The fund relies primarily on individual donations from Baxter colleagues. Baxter International Foundation provided seed funding and covers all administrative costs to allow 100% of employee donations to reach fellow colleagues.
